Mr. Douglas Diaz
Hello Dragons! I am Mr. Diaz. I have been teaching English at Bernstein High School since 2019. My approach to teaching is somewhat anecdotal since I aim to build rapport and community with my students. I also challenge my students to think critically about matters related to everyday life experiences by incorporating a variety of genres, such as: literature, art, film, and music. Some of my most meaningful experiences in the classroom derive from students learning to utilize the power of language / words to build relationships, connections, opportunities, and an expanded frame of thinking in their own lives. These "Aha!" moments are precious. When I am not teaching, I spend time with Maria (my wife) and Lucia (my daughter). I also enjoy tinkering, photography, and skateboarding. -diaz
